Valentino's - Clintwood

This little place is a must to do… it’s a one man operation. It takes a little while to get the food because he cooks it as it’s ordered so everything is fresh. It’s worth the wait the food is soooo good and he’s just the sweetest. It’s an experience

Food absolutely blew me away. My new favorite spot. 5 star cuisine at a price you can't beat. If you don't like Italian, he has the best pizza/Stromboli around too.

Not everyday you find Italian in the mountains. And not everyday you find Italian that’s 100% on point. This place is a one man show. But it is well worth the wait. This old gentleman out did himself. It was flat out delicious. We had the linguine with pesto sauce. We ate every bit. Just can’t rave enough about it. If you’re ever in western Virginia, check out Valentino’s in Clintwood.

One man was the server and cook. You have to wait a while for your food. It is definitely worth the wait. Food was so good. We really enjoyed it all.

As Always The Food was phenomenal! We ordered NY Strips and a order Crab Legs for My Bf and My baby Rolo loves steak so he got one as well. I ordered Shrimp Linguine. It was amazing. We ordered then took home to eat. The best place to eat in this little town if u want something that's not processed /fast food. Wish we had more selection closer to home. Shame we have to drive 30- 45 mins to have an actual variety of places to choose anything.... Food, clothing, restaurants

This is old-school Italian that broke our travel dining rule of "an empty parking lot means the food is bad". My husband and I were hesitant to stop here because there never seemed to be any customers. After getting a glowing recommendation from the lady with the Commissioner of Renevue and from our hotel's desk staff (who all recommended calling ahead), we gave it a try. The owner does it all - waiter, chef, cashier - and the menu was right... this is fine dining food, not fast food. This was one of the most delicious meals I've ever eaten in a blissfully soothing atmosphere. Softly playing classical music. White tablecloth topped with clear plastic. China plates. Glass salad plate. Water goblet, not a plastic cup. Yes, it does take some time between ordering and eating but it's worth the wait. We ordered the herbed olive oil with Italian bread to dip for an appetizer. My husband ordered the baked angel hair pasta with marinara. I ordered the fettuccine carbonara and a salad with Mediterranean salad dressing. Both dinners came with garlic toast. The olive dipping oil was wonderful. I wish there was more bread served with it & will probably order 2 portions if we make it back to Clintwood. Every vegetable in the salad was cut small enough that I didn't need to cut it again at the table. It had been tossed with the perfect amount of dressing so all I had to do was eat it. My carbonara was not what I expected since I don't make mine with an alfredo base nor do I add bits of broccoli - I use bacon, white wine, parm & an egg - but it was outstanding. The fettuccine was perfectly cooked & bathed in a creamy sauce with flecks of broccoli and tiny pieces of ham. (I would have licked the plate but we were in public.) My husband said his pasta was very good. He didn't elaborate but he did eat it all & it was a big portion. If we ever go back to Clintwood, we will definitely be eating here again.

This gentleman is a one man show! Serves, cooks and cleans all by himself. Best Italian food I’ve ever had, prices are very reasonable. This man cooks with passion and love. Has a full menu- not just Italian.
